Is Preschool the Next Hot Topic in Election?

If education ever surfaces as a serious topic in this election, the stars appear lined up for pre-K to be the issue of choice, according to some panelists who spoke at the ED 08 Blog Summit last week. It’s no surprise since pre-K is less controversial than K-12 and the two democratic candidates have each outlined some details of their early childhood education plans. Not to mention that pre-K legislation is likely to move forward in Congress this year independent of NCLB, see here.

But it won’t be long before the new administration and new Congress have to deal with the elephant in the room – NCLB. More school labeling and sanctions next year will likely stir dissatisfaction at the state and local levels.
